I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Bob at the Press Star and he was always so helpful and kind to me. He will be missed. RIP Bob.

Diane and Chris,
I have SO many fond memories of your Dad. Some of the things I remember is his shy smile and that he was a man of few words, but was comfortable observing all that was going on around him. We have SO many fond memories of times spent with your Dad and Mom.....how lucky we were to have them as dear friends and neighbors. It would be impossible to count all the memories. Our families share a lot of history, don't we? I hope you find comfort in knowing that he is now at peace. I have a picture in my mind that your Mom and Nan were waiting for him as they are reunited. Monica probably talked him into a quick round of golf too. Please know that my thoughts will be with you all as your celebrate his life. He was a good man and he knew how much he was loved. You were such good daughters. Love and hugs.
